'In the world of historical saga writers, there's a brand new voice' My Weekly
From the author of Pearl of Pit Lane, a dramatically powerful and romantic saga of tragedy and triumph.
If you love Dilly Court and Rosie Goodwin, you'll LOVE Glenda Young!
'You deserve more than this, Jess... You deserve to know the truth about the McNallys.'
When a newborn baby girl is found abandoned with nothing but a scarlet ribbon tied to her basket, Ada Davidson, housekeeper of the wealthy McNally family's home, the Uplands, takes her into her care. Sworn to secrecy about the baby's true identity, Ada names her Jess and brings her up as her own, giving Jess no reason to question where she came from.
But when Ada passes away, grief-stricken Jess, now sixteen, is banished from the place she's always called home. With the scarlet ribbon the only connection to her past, will Jess ever find out where she really belongs? And will she uncover the truth about the ruthless McNallys?
Praise for Glenda Young:
'I really enjoyed Glenda's novel. It's well researched and well written and I found myself caring about her characters' Rosie Goodwin
'Will resonate with saga readers everywhere...a wonderful, uplifting story' Nancy Revell
'All the ingredients for a perfect saga and I loved Meg; she's such a strong and believable character. A fantastic debut' Emma Hornby
'Glenda has an exceptionally keen eye for domestic detail which brings this local community to vivid, colourful life and Meg is a likeable, loving heroine for whom the reader roots from start to finish' Jenny Holmes
'I found it difficult to believe that this was a debut novel, as "brilliant" was the word in my mind when I reached the end. I enjoyed it enormously, being totally absorbed from the first page. I found it extremely well written, and having always loved sagas, one of the best I've read' Margaret Kaine
Look out for Glenda's other compelling sagas, Belle of the Back Streets, The Tuppenny Child and Pearl of Pit Lane.
